According to the Alliance's plan, David. Stern will retire after this season. In the second half of next season, starting in February of about '14, the league's president will be led by the current vice president, Adam Brown. Xiao Hua served.

Although Xiao Hua did not officially take office until February 14, in fact, most of the affairs of the alliance are now handled and decided by Xiao Hua. David. Stern doesn't have much work now, and it can almost be said that he has given the job to Xiao Hua to deal with.

Therefore, when Henson said in front of all reporters that the alliance interview was a "murderer who doesn't kill", Xiao Hua, who has never liked Henson very much, naturally couldn't sit idly by.

Last season, Henson was interviewed by Stern for inappropriate remarks and disrespect for the league. But after all, Stern is old and no longer has the iron fist he used to have, so he didn't do anything after being "fooled" by Henson.

But now, with Xiao Hua in control of the real power, everything is different. Last season's regular season, playoffs and this season's accounts, Xiao Hua plans to settle with Henson together.

You must know that Xiao Hua was the driving force behind the proposal and launch of the "zero tolerance for violence" system. As long as a player or coach acts violently or has violent intent on the field, the referee has the right to send the opponent off the court without accumulating technical fouls.

Now that Xiao Hua is really in power himself, it is naturally impossible for him to tolerate Henson's verbal violence.

So, the day after the game between the Bucks and the Pacers, the league officially issued a notice.

"Due to Coach Henson's inappropriate remarks and confrontation with the referee, the league has decided to impose a $25,000 fine on Coach Henson and a three-game ban."

The statement of the coalition was very brief, but the meaning was clear enough. Henson. Joe, the Chinese coach who has been controversial since the first day he entered the league, the young coach who dared to scold reporters for "brain disease" and dared to publicly yell at the referee, was finally banned as expected!

"Xiao Hua, this bastard." Looking at the final verdict of the League, Henson sighed. I often walk by the river, where can I not get my shoes wet. Unexpectedly, I also had a day of planting.

It's not uncommon for the league to ban players, but there aren't many examples of coaches being banned. Normally, the referee is expelled on the spot and fined, which is severe enough. But it is indeed rare to have an additional ban after the fact.

You know, Adam. Xiao Hua endured Henson's decision for a long time before making this decision. Of course, there are also some elements in it that kill chickens and monkeys. Henson was just unlucky and hit the muzzle.

'It's good that it's only three games, but I don't want to see anything like that happen again, Henson. Those stupid referees are like that, and they can't be punished for their sake. Bird waved his hand, and the alliance personally issued the punishment, and he had no room to maneuver.

"I was mainly worried about the players getting injured so I decided to put pressure on the referee. If the Bucks get a few more fouls like that, God knows what kind of surprises will happen. Larry. Sanders is also a bastard, what the hell do you think you hit dirty and others can't see it? I promise, if Sanders really hurt George yesterday, I'll go up and fight him! ”

"Forget it, Henson, you're going to be by Larry. Sanders punched down. Do you think you're me? I beat Bill. Ranbill's. ”

Henson held his forehead, and yes, the "forced king" came again.

"Okay, let's talk about the fight next time. Now you need to think about what the team is going to do in the three games you're not around. The Mavericks, Knicks and Wizards, the last two of which were back-to-back. These three games have not been easy. Seeing that Henson was not interested in his previous experience of fighting, Bird immediately changed the subject to business.

And during the media session during afternoon training, reporters asked Henson the same question.

"What to do? There's nothing to do. My players are very strong and they can win without me. After all, in your words, I'm just a mouthful, aren't I? Henson smiled contemptuously, but in fact he panicked in his heart.

With Henson gone, Vogel and Stevens will undoubtedly take over the reins. Vogel is experienced and very good at setting up defense, but he can't attack. Stevens has a balanced ability and a rich imagination, but he is not bold enough to use people.

It's only when the trio of Henson, Vogel and Stevens are combined that the coaching staff's abilities are complete. Now that there is no one Henson, he is a little worried that Stevens and Vogel will be too rigid.

And you know, the next game of the Pacers' opponent is the Mavericks. Mavericks coach Rick. Carlisle is not an ordinary person.

The fact that the former coach of the Pacers was able to lead the Mavericks to a championship that year is a testament to his ability.

The next game will be quite a challenge for ESPN's two "Best Coach of the Preseason" awards.

※※※

Stevens had a decent time with the Pacers, and it was clear that Henson trusted him a lot, and the game against the Spurs also gave Stevens a taste of the fun of wits with top coaches.

Since the start of the season, the team has also won a wave of eight consecutive wins. Originally, everything was very good, but I didn't expect Henson to have that kind of in Milwaukee.

The eight-game winning streak weighed on Stevens, putting him under pressure. If the winning streak is interrupted, there is no doubt that this pot will have to be carried by himself and Vogel.

Although Stevens is also a head coach in the NCAA, and most of the team's training schedule this summer has been developed by Stevens himself.

But to command such a strong team with a full lineup and talent, Stevens is still a little nervous in the face of an eight-game winning streak and a strong opponent.

"I'm not on the sidelines today, but I'll be in the dressing room to see how you perform! So, don't think I'm here when I'm not here! At halftime, none of you want to be scolded bloody, do you? ”

Before the game began, Henson half-jokingly lectured in the dressing room, and the players all laughed and shook their heads. While Henson was not allowed to appear on the pitch, the league did not deprive him of his right to speak in the locker room.

"Well, today, listen to Brad and Frank. I hope you will support them as much as you support me. Henson tilted his head and motioned for the two of them to say a few words to everyone.

A few minutes later, the players came out to warm up, while Henson sat in the empty dressing room. In the NBA, after the head coach is suspended, not to mention the bench, not even the spectator seat. This is carried out very harshly.

Henson had to watch his players perform live on TV and then use the half-time break as an opportunity to adjust his team's tactics.

Looking at the empty locker room and the cheers that loomed from the sidelines, Henson sighed. Being banned from the game, he really doesn't want to try it again in the future. It seems that in the future, I will have to learn to "scold civilly".

On the court, Pacers fans can't wait for the game to start soon. Although this game against the Mavericks is not broadcast live in the United States, it has received a lot of attention.

It's hard to see what the Pacers will do if they don't change their roster and just change their head coach. At the same time, Mavericks fans are hoping that the team can take advantage of this opportunity to get a win.

Since winning the championship in '11, the Mavericks' strength has been declining, but they are by no means soft persimmons to be pinched.

In the five games the Mavericks have won so far this season, there are three very strong opponents in the Lakers, Trail Blazers and Knicks. They really have no hope of winning the championship, but the big teams must also beware of being bitten back by the Mavericks.

Carlisle expressed his determination in an interview before the game: "I want to get a win away from home, Henson is not there, it's an opportunity for me. ”

"I ...... I try to do my job as well as I can. Stevens, an NBA rookie, was a little nervous.

Henson shook his head, if it was himself who had just been interviewed, he must have a hundred ways to tease Carlisle.

Let's hope Stevens and Vogel won't be led by Carlisle......
